Sailboat Schema

Hello, in my sailing boat I should renew the complete electrical system.


I have the following Victron Energy devices:


2 x 165A AGM Domestic Battery BAT412151084

1 x Atlas Combi 12/1500 (50Amp)


I have the following Victron Devices that I would be installed:


- SmartSolar Cell Controller for 2 Solar Panel

- Argofet Isolator

- Smart Shunt

- Cyprix


I am looking for a schema for the following properties:

- 1 Engine Battery 120A

- 2 Solar Panel (60 6 100 Watts)

- 2 Wind Generator Aerogen6 (Starts charging 0.5A at 6.5 Knots, Maximum windspeed of 45 knots gives 30A)

- 2 Engine Alternator Lucas


- All batteries should be charged simultaneously via the engine alternators

- All batteries should be charged simultaneously via the 230V charger

- All batteries should be charged simultaneously via the wind generator

- All batteries should be charged simultaneously via the solar panels

- The two Domestic batteries and the Engine Battery should be used individually as starter and main battery, in case of emergency the main battery should also be able to be used for starting.


I have not a complete schema as a basis for this and I can't see which accessories I can use (pre-main fuse, main DC Distribution with MPPT+, isolator, Fuses).


If you could please provide a simple schema, would I be sure of a correct installation.


Greeting

Antonio

Hi, welcome to the Community!

Unfortunately, as noted in the Community Guidelines, the Community is not the best place for system design questions, nor for the development of custom system schematics. You can ask your dealer/distributor for assistance, or engage a reputable, experienced systems installer for assistance.

There are a great many resources available directly from Victron's consumer-facing site should you desire to complete the installation and design yourself, however, so have a look at:

https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/technical-information

https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/systems

https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/The_Wiring_Unlimited_book/en/index-en.html

Between those 3 links there is a vast amount of information that can help you work out what you need to DIY your design/installation; if you'd rather not devote the time to the DIY, however, then engaging a good installer to design and perhaps install the system for you will be the best course!
